    Not Disney Related - Jcpenny Men's Dress Shirts

    I bought a Stafford Travel Easy-Care Broadcloth Dress Shirt in the spring. It was very thin/see through. I returned it as soon as I opened it (had ordered online). There seem to be many varieties of the Stafford travel shirts, so I'm not sure which one you're looking at.

    College Books?

    People always mention Chegg. Personally, I've always done best buying used at Amazon, and I only get the "like new" or "very good" books.

    Does anyone love their dishwasher? (and I don't mean your spouse!)

    We just bought a new dishwasher a year ago. First thing you need to do is carefully measure the hole for your dishwasher. Dishwashers are not a standard size. Once we realized that, our choices were narrowed down quite far. (We did buy an LG and have been happy with it.)

    Costco shared membership?

    I, too, share my Costco membership with my mom who lives in a different state. We've been on the same card for at least 10 years. However, I was told that the rules have changed and it's no longer allowed, but we were grandfathered in when they changed (enforced?) the rules. So as long as...

    Anyone With the Flu?

    All 4 of us currently have the flu. I went to the dr for 2 of us and had him call in cough medicine for the other two. He did give us a prescription to TamiFlu which I didn't fill. I saw a commercial for it which says it cuts 1.3 days off the flu and the pharmacist told me that's if it...

    puzzles to print ??

    For math, reading, and science games check out iknowthat.com. The games are broken down by grade so you can find exactly what works for her in each subject. For printables, google "free dot to dot printables" or "free homeschool math printables" etc. Years ago I found tons of Disney dot to...

    Need info Braces/Retainer

    Both of my sons have the top removable (wear at night) retainer and the bottom permanent retainer. We were told the bottom will remain forever, and they were supposed to wear their top retainers nightly forever. She did mention that when bottom teeth shift, a small change can look huge...

    7 dwarfs Mine Train at rope Drop?

    We actually attempted 7DMT at rope drop this morning. We arrived at the ride at 9:06 & the line was all the way around past the tea cups. They estimated it at 75 minutes. We got out of line several minutes later when I realized if it truly was 75 minutes, then we'd miss our next FP. As we...

    College aid packages public vs private?

    One more thing, and again I'm going through the process at the same rate as you- so I'm probably just as lost. The FAFSA is mainly to determine if you qualify for "need" based money, the Stafford loan and federal work programs. The academic money comes from the college itself. All...

    College aid packages public vs private?

    Take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, because I am by no means an expert. My son toured 4 colleges and decided he could choose from there. They were all private. All 4 we toured told us the sticker price was not real. No one paid that full amount. All 4 of ours (here in Indiana) offers...

    OUTLANDER Fans - Have you heard?

    I just watched the first episode on Starz online. Thanks for the heads up on that one. I thought I'd be waiting until it came to Netflix (if ever). Does anyone know where you can watch the remaining episodes as they come out if you don't have Starz? On a side note, the village where Claire...

    Big Brother Spoiler Thread

    I found this article about how much Frankie is supposedly worth. No idea if it's accurate, but it will give you an idea. http://www.bustle.com/articles/34856-how-much-does-frankie-grande-make-the-big-brother-youtube-star-has-more-money-than

    Who else is getting their kid ready for their first year of college?

    This is my son exactly. He got to speak and hang out with the lead professor for a while. He left and was so excited to start classes. The professor gave him a list of classes he'd be taking and was pointing out things like, you'll pick 2 off this list, etc. My son said he wanted to pick...

    Who else is getting their kid ready for their first year of college?

    My son will be a senior this year, however, he has enough credits to graduate already. In April of this year, he was told by a college coach that starting college in January would be a great thing if you want to play on the college team. Literally in one second, I went from having 15+ months...

    hotel outside of Toronto

    Thanks so much. These are all helpful suggestions. I honestly don't know what we will do. I didn't think we'd ride the bus or train from Mississauga, just that we might get a hotel there and drive in somewhere to park. I need to add it all up. Train passes or TTC passes for all of us...

    hotel outside of Toronto

    We'd like to find a nice hotel just outside of Toronto where we can ride public transportation into the city, rather than stay downtown. Is there any place like this? If not, any place we could park and ride in if we stay in a hotel say in Mississauga? (The reason behind this is that...

    How to keep mice from getting into your car?

    I was once in the dealership and I heard the mechanic come and talk to an older woman. He said her air vents were filled with bird seed that the mice had put in there. He advised her to always make sure the vents were closed before she turned off the car. So push the button that makes the air...

    Silly but good 1980's movies

    We've been going through 1980s movies with our teenagers. I just ordered Better Off Dead on DVD since it never comes on tv. Other favorites are all that others have mentioned: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Space Camp Goonies We just watched Roxanne which my kids labeled as "weird...

    visiting Toronto area

    The Toronto TTC - I'm looking at the fares for a day pass. Would that pass enable us to ride subway, bus and streetcar? Or just one? Any restaurants we should hit? Should we venture into Chinatown? Or the Greek area of town?
